Chapter 287: Asking For Help

Translator:Henyee TranslationsEditor:Henyee Translations

Looking at Liu Erlang's happy face, Madam Wei teased. If I had known that naming dogs as general' would make them grow so big, I would name you general too. General Liu Erlang.

Liu Erlang smiled. Sure, I'm your son anyway.

Madam Wei reached out and hit him. You brat. Are you implying that I'm a dog?

Liu Erlang ran away as he shouted. In any case, I'm your son.

He was whatever his mother was.

Liu Erlang whistled. General Black seemed to have received a secret signal and immediately ran towards Liu Erlang.

However, when General Black reached the doorway, he ran back, lying obediently beside Liu Sanniang's embroidery table.

Madam Wei laughed out loud. Good dog, good dog.

General Black wagged his tail at Madam Wei.

Liu Erlang was stunned. He walked over and rubbed General Black's head. You ungrateful dog. What's so good about Sanniang? If you accidentally knock over her embroidery table, she'll get mad and kick you out.

Liu Sanniang touched General Black's head. His head was already very big, and Liu Sanniang could not wrap her hand around it, but General Black still rubbed his head against her palm the way he did when he was a puppy.

Liu Sanniang smiled and said, I'm making a woven rope for General Black with our names on it. When others see him, they will know that he's our dog.

Liu Erlang touched General Black's head. This is a good idea.

As if knowing what they were talking about, General Black gently touched Liu Sanniang with his front paws.

Knock, knock, knock.

There was a knock on the door. Liu Erlang stood up to open the door. When he saw Li Guanfeng, he was surprised. Magistrate Li.

Li Guanfeng nodded. I'm looking for Miss Liu. Is she here?

Li Guanfeng asked Liu Erlang with a calm expression. He was much better-looking and gentler than a few days ago.

Liu Erlang stepped aside. Sir, please come in.

Li Guanfeng walked into the courtyard. The Liu family was just an ordinary family. The courtyard was clean and tidy. Not far away, he saw Liu Sanniang embroidering something on an embroidery table. Li Guanfeng was a little surprised. He did not expect Liu Sanniang to know how to embroider. What was more, her embroidery seemed to be life-like.

General Black was lying on his stomach next to Liu Sannaing. Perhaps sensing that there was an outsider, General Black looked up at Li Guanfeng. At a glance, Li Guanfeng could tell that this dog would grow up into a ferocious beast.

When Li Guanfeng walked over, Madam Wei had brought over a stool. Sir, please sit.

Li Guanfeng sat down. Miss Liu really surprised me.

Liu Sanniang looked at Li Guanfeng. Magistrate Li also surprised me. In just a few days, you're recovered completely.

Li Guanfeng was currently looking vigorous. No one could tell that just a while ago, he was on his last breath.

With a smile, Li Guanfeng said calmly, I'm here to pass a letter to you. It's an urgent letter sent by Mrs. Wei from the capital.

Li Guanfeng took out a letter and handed it to Liu Sanniang. Liu Sanniang took it and the seal was intact. Li Guanfeng had not read it, and he did not know what it was about.

Liu Sanniang opened it. There was only one piece of paper. Mrs. Wei's handwriting was delicate. She wrote that she was asking Liu Sanniang for help and explained the trouble Wei Shilai was in.

When Wei Shilai arrived at the capital, he was called by the Third Prince. Mrs. Wei did not know what happened, but after he returned, Wei Shilai was very busy and made many mistakes. After he was assgined to investigate a murder case, he caused a huge blunder. Mrs. Wei had no choice but to write a letter to ask for help, hoping that Liu Sanniang could help investigate and catch the murderer.

She knew that Wei Shilai did not want to trouble Liu Sanniang, but she had no choice. She didn't want to see her husband being beheaded.

Liu Sanniang folded the letter. There were many evils in the world. She might be powerful in Yong County, but her ability was not yet on par with those outside Yong County. The source of evil was ready to attack, and it was growing faster day by day. She knew that she would eventually leave here and wanted to be more prepared.

But now it seemed that she had no more time left to prepare.

In the capital, there were all kinds of evildoers, but she wasn't afraid.

Li Guanfeng looked at Liu Sanniang. What did Madam Wei say?

Liu Sanniang said, She wants me to go to the capital to help Magistrate Wei.

Li Guanfeng raised his eyebrows. Are you going?

In the capital, there were all kinds of people. Liu Sanniang was, after all, just a little girl. Wasn't she afraid of being harmed?

Li Guanfeng also knew one thing or two about why Wei Shilai was promoted.

The Third Prince exaggerated and said that Wei Shilai had recruited a capable person who could see the future of life and death at a glance. The emperor believed him and specially established the Xuanyi Department. He also promoted Wei Shilai to the fifth-grade official and asked him to solve the cases that the government couldn't solve. When Wei Shilai took office, he did not bring this capable person with him. The Third Prince was obviously displeased. If Wei Shilai did not bring Liu Sanniang with him, he had plenty of ways to force Liu Sanniang to come over.

Liu Sanniang nodded. Yes, I'm going.

Li Guanfeng looked at Liu Sanniang. Are you really not afraid?

Liu Sanniang said calmly, Why should I be afraid?

She was a Buddha and the nemesis of all evil in the world. What was there to be afraid of?

The ones who should be afraid were the evildoers in this world.

Li Guanfeng smiled. Yes, you're not the one who should be afraid.

Liu Sanniang was a light that could dispel the darkness. Wherever she went, the light would shine. The ugly and sinful people hiding in the darkness were the ones who should be afraid. Once the darkness was gone, their sinful doings would be revealed to the world.

Li Guanfeng was looking forward to that day.

He stood up and cupped his hands at Liu Sanniang. Then I wish you all the best.

Li Guanfeng turned to leave. He came just to deliver a letter. Since the letter had been delivered, he should go back. He did not ask Liu Sanniang when he and Xiaowu would be reunited. He did not need to ask about it either. The red line of marriage had been reconnected. No matter when, they would eventually meet.

As soon as Li Guanfeng left, Madam Wei said after a long sigh, I won't stop you from going, but you have to go with Chu Yan and take General Black with you.

Madam Wei had never thought of going to the capital in her life. She loved Yong County very much and would spend her life here. However, Liu Sanniang was different. This was her life and the path she chose to take.
